"Oh man, that would be amazing if the opportunity ever came up," he said Tuesday during a talk at the Cannes Film Festival, per Variety.

The superhero film, which has earned more than $1.3 billion at the global box office, stars Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa, the titular hero and king of the fictional African country of Wakanda.

But it's the women of the film that tend to steal the scenes, like Lupita Nyong'o as Nakia, Danai Gurira as Okoye and Letitia Wright as Shuri.

"I think you could argue (that the women) are more important," Coogler said of the trio's role in the movie. "There's a whole section of the film where T'Challa is out of the movie and you're just following the women. That's one of my favorite parts of the movie when I watched it, and I didn't expect that."

The director added that he found that specific part of the movie "exciting," and that he absolutely believed in the women's ability to carry a film on their own.

"That part of the movie you feel like you're watching something fresh and new. That part of it was exciting. We have these actresses who could easily carry their own movie. Some of them have before. We were so fortunate. I would watch a movie with them!" he said.

Coogler also noted that the recent "Black Panther" comic books have already given significant focus to women.

He was referring to the 2016 comic book penned by Ta-Nehisi Coates and Brian Stelfreze, which focused on Wakanda's Dora Milaje team of female fighters, and the World of Wakanda spin-off series written by Roxane Gay and poet Yona Harvey.

The latter book, which marked the first time two black women wrote a series for Marvel, describes the backstory of Wakandan women.

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige told Entertainment Weekly in March that fans should "absolutely" expect some type of "Black Panther" sequel, though details were slim.
